The musical collaboration marks the third time partnership of the famed rock band with the talented filmmaker.
Radwimps has earlier worked with Shinkai on You Name and Weathering with You. Given the phenomenal music titled “Sparkle” and “We’ll Be Alright” in both films, the rock band’s upcoming collaboration assures another soothing melody is arriving on the way.

Ahead of the film’s release, Your Name, Weathering with You, and 5 Centimeters Per Second will also be released in IMAX.
